What are the risk factors of snoring?
Snoring usually becomes more serious with age. It can lead to fragmented and un-refreshing sleep which translates into poor daytime function (tiredness and sleepiness). There are several factors which facilitate snoring such as:
- The natural aging process leads to the relaxation of the throat muscles
- Anatomical abnormalities of the nose and throat
- Sleep position
- Alcohol
- Muscle relaxants
- Obesity
